How do you feel about players using the BT dice roller app

You know another thing about this is people don't trust computers.   I am going to use the HBS BattleTech  game as an example.  People screamed the AI was cheating on head hits.  A few people decided to track rolls turns out it isn't but when a computer rolls numbers people don't like they blame the computer.  Which is kind of funny because almost nobody uses truly balance dice in gaming.

The vanilla HBS game did cheat on hits, just in the players favor.   Each missed short increased the odds of the next one connecting.

I don’t have particularly strong feelings on dice rollers. Like others have said, I don’t generally play with people who I suspect of cheating. It really accelerates large numbers of cluster munitions, SRMs, etc..

I also have experienced the racket of a vigorously shaken “box of death”, and was not a fan. I don’t doubt that it is possible to do with restraint, but I’m not sure I’ve encountered it.

The only problem I have with Dice Rollers is that your not seeing the roll and the results that are so better way to hid the results.
I just see this a lot with rollers for DnD.
It might speed up the game, and that always helps.

Your playing with the wrong people if you need to constantly be on guard for cheating, a phone can be Sat on the table in view of other players.

Or, you know, regularly playing with the various folks who show up to the meetups the FLGS hosts. The opportunity to choose who you play with is often more of a luxury in wargaming than RPGs.

It's ok if it is publicly aviable app however it takes lot away from classic BT feeling same with flex sheets.

I've used a classic game as my die roller: Trouble's Pop-o-Matic bubble.

It's easier to travel, simple to operate and no chasing die around when dropped.

Just a Pop sound as the die are rolled in the dome.

I mean, it's weird at first and if you have multiples, you can paint / mark the base color for different " Box O'Doom ' effect...

Casual play sure if both players agree.

Tournament, absolutely not!  Too easy to cheat with the digital dice and if people can bring the mechs, they can bring dice and roll so everyone can see the result.  Tournament dice should also only be pip dice, with nothing else on the die.

Too true.  Some dice have a special symbol for the '1', others have it for the '6'.  Mixing them up is an invitation for arguments.
